Quick eval of student's knowledge, no French yet. Introduced basic greetings, practiced repeating back and forth. Will need to repeat this again. First session, so also discussed goals, Sebastian said his mother wants him to learn French. Encouraged enthusiasm for subject with personal stories of learning French. Student was alert and responsive to repeating back greetings and we will focus next week on words that are the same or similar in both French and English to help student learn the accents.

Lesson Comments
Enthusiasm increased for subject, have clear goal for next week.
For her second meeting with Doreen, Zeta asked follow-up questions and was able to get the answers allowing her to complete her worksheet. This was a really good session where both Zeta and Doreen were able to see that learning a foreign language could be useful and fun. It was also a bitter sweet feeling since I also had to say goodbye to Zeta for our last session. Zeta has been a great student, always showing enthusiasm and willingness to learn. As a student of French, she is very quick at picking up new vocabulary and very good with pronunciation. I hope she will continue to study French and I wish her all the best!
"La Chenille affammée" - We listened to the French version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar one more time in order to review the days of the weeks and the number with two questions: "What did she have on Monday/Tuesday..." and "How many apples/pears...did she have on Wednesday/Thursday...?"
